Webinar: Refrigeration plant equipment options for hot mines
1
PD Hours
A focus on refrigeration equipment options available for modern deep mining which keep humans safe. We will review where and when to use these options. What are the efficiencies versus costs and finally an example scenario for a multi MWR refrigeration plant in a heat challenged mine.
About this event
Modern industry is continually facing both internal and external legislative and environmental challenges from a changing world. Arguably none more so than the mining industry.
Mining and recovering commodities at depth, coupled with heat issues that affect safety and productivity, can be said to be the most significant challenges faced.
This webinar focuses on refrigeration equipment options available for modern deep mining to keep humans safe.
Participants will gain an understanding of various types of refrigeration systems and associated equipment types available, what refrigerants should be used, the benefits of water-cooled chillers versus air cooled, and the benefits of a closed circuit versus an open circuit.
